The house came down at the end of last month. Gu Xingdong took the time to paint the house white, but the rest was damaged before he could even do it.
The three of them quickly arrived downstairs in the military area. When they were assigned rooms, Gu Xingdong specifically asked Chen Lishu which floor she wanted. If she chose the first floor, there would be an open space of more than ten square meters in front of the window. Thinking that it would be more convenient to eat food in the future, Chen Lishu asked
I chose the first floor.
The room is a very ordinary small two-bedroom apartment with an area of more than 40 square meters. Because it has been painted white, it looks very clean and bright.
One of the bedrooms contains two iron frame beds pushed together and a set of military quilts. In the kitchen, Wu Zheng helped install the gas tank, and Lin Xiaoyue also prepared kitchen utensils. You can light a fire and cook when you move in.
"There isn't much at home, so I thought it would be inconvenient for you to go out to buy it, so I brought you some radishes, cabbage, potatoes, and half a bag of rice and noodles." Wu Zheng pointed to the stove and said to Chen Lishu.
Seeing that everything had been explained, Wu Zheng said to the two of them: "You have just come back and have a good rest. If anything happens, brothers and sisters, just call me from the other side. I have a training in the afternoon and I will go back first."
When walking out, Wu Zheng bumped Gu Xingdong's shoulder and said in a low voice with deep meaning: "My leg is injured, please take it easy."
Gu Xingdong rolled his eyes at him and said one word: "Get out."
Wu Zheng really rolled away with a smile.
"If you have an injury on your leg, go and lie down on the bed. I'll call you when I'm ready to cook."
As she spoke, Chen Lishu helped her to the bed and then went to the kitchen. Since the food was not complete and the seasonings were limited, she simply made some gnocchi soup with some shredded cabbage and diced carrots in it.
After the two of them had eaten, Chen Lishu took out the paper and pen she had brought and started writing a shopping list for tomorrow. There were so many things that she needed to buy at home, and she was really afraid of forgetting if she didn't write a list.
"Let's use this room as a bedroom and that room as a study and guest room. My parents can live there too." Chen Lishu wrote for a while and then looked up at Gu Xingdong.
"Yeah, okay."
"There must be a big cabinet in the house. I don't like wooden boxes. Clothes can't be hung."
"Um."
"What do you think..."
Chen Lishu was talking and taking notes. She looked up and found Gu Xingdong sitting on the bed, staring at her intently. She subconsciously reached out and touched her face: "Where is it dirty?"
Gu Xingdong shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you sleepy?"
Chen Lishu's face turned slightly red: "You are still injured."
Gu Xingdong deliberately teased her with a smile in his eyes: "You can't sleep if you are injured?"
"Of course not. What if the wound opens? Besides, it's still daytime."
"Ha." Gu Xingdong couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed her head twice: "I saw that you were too tired this day, so I asked you if you wanted to come over and lie with me for a while. If you really want to do that, your man, I
It’s not impossible, this small injury will not affect normal performance.”
Seeing that he was getting more and more rude as he spoke, Chen Lishu put away her pen and paper and stood up: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Gu Xingdong saw that she was about to leave and said hurriedly: "Where are you going?"
"I don't have a kettle at home, so I'll borrow one from Wu's house across the street to boil some water."
Chen Lishu said something to him and turned around to go out. Gu Xingdong heard the sound of the door closing, and lay back completely relaxed. He stared at the whitewashed roof with bright eyes and sighed with satisfaction. From now on, it will be the two of them here.
's home.
Chen Lishu walked out of the room and went to Wu's house upstairs. She stood at the door and knocked twice. Soon Lin Xiaoyue answered from inside, and then the door was opened.
Chen Lishu smiled: "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Come in quickly, I was thinking of going to your house for a while, but I didn't expect you to come over." Lin Xiaoyue enthusiastically invited people in and went to pour her water, but Chen Lishu stopped her.
"I don't have a kettle at home so I can't drink water. It's too late to go to the city now, so I want to borrow a kettle from my sister-in-law's house first and then return it after I boil the water."
"It's okay, you can take it and use it. I just boiled a pot and poured it into the thermos bottle. Don't rush to use it. Just return it to me when you buy it." Lin Xiaoyue went to the kitchen happily and brought out the kettle to Chen Lishu.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will go back first. When I finish cleaning up the house, I invite you and Brother Wu to go home for dinner." Chen Lishu thanked her and carried the kettle home.
When she got home, Chen Lishu first boiled a pot of hot water, then took out a string to roughly measure the length and width of each room in the house, and then took notes to write it down, so that she would know how much to buy when she goes to the city tomorrow.
.
"Don't buy big things yet. It's inconvenient to go back and forth. When my legs get better, I can find a car and go straight over and bring them back."
"I may not be able to buy what I like, so I'll look around first." Chen Lishu said with a smile.
It was getting dark. She first helped Gu Xingdong wash up and then tidied up briefly herself. As soon as she lay on the bed, a pair of big hands wrapped around her. Seeing that Chen Lishu didn't say anything, Gu Xingdong's hands began to move, thinking little by little across the plain.
When he wanted to occupy the high ground, he was given a warning shot by Chen Lishu, and then finally stopped.
The next day, when the bugle sounded, they both opened their eyes almost at the same time.
"You're recovering from your injuries now. Sleep a little longer. I'll make breakfast first." Chen Lishu said and stood up.
Years of work and rest in the army have long been ingrained in his bones. Gu Xingdong would get up with her wherever he could sleep. Although his left leg could not exert any force, his right leg could still be used.
I slowly moved to the bathroom and started washing myself.
Chen Lishu steamed rice for breakfast and simply fried some shredded cabbage. After the two of them had eaten, they gave Gu Xingdong a few words, and Chen Lishu left the military camp with her shoulder bag and took a bus to the city.
There are a lot of things needed at home, and it will definitely cost a lot of money to buy new ones. She thought about it when she was lying in bed last night. She wanted to go to the scrap collection station first.
She didn't know until she was shopping for books in town that there were old furniture for sale at the junkyard. If she was lucky, she might be able to find some good wood furniture.
After making up her mind, Chen Lishu arrived in the city and inquired about the location of the scrap collection station.
I was lucky. I happened to have a nice lacquered wood dressing table, but the mirror on it was broken and I had to reinstall it myself. There was also a half cabinet, which should have been scattered from other combination cabinets. This piece was relatively well preserved.
.
There is also a large round table that can be stacked, but the legs of the table are lame. There are two round stools next to it, which should be the same set as the table, but they may have been smashed during the turmoil, and there are scratches on the legs of the stools.
.
I couldn't pick out anything else that was useful, and after all the miscellaneous calculations, I spent nearly a hundred yuan in total.
The man at the junkyard was so happy to see so many things sold in just one visit.
"Uncle, I see there is a tricycle in your yard. There are so many things. Can you help me take the things to my house?" Then Chen Lishu reported the address.
When the old man who collected scraps heard that he was so far away, he waved his hand and refused.
